Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Savannah who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
